Premier League Predictions & Top Picks: Ruud van Nistelrooy to Begin Leicester Reign with a Loss

web editor

I am impressed by Oliver Glasner's strategic approach to football, especially his emphasis on central play for his front three attackers. By instructing them to operate centrally, they become genuine goal-scoring threats and are able to consistently create danger in the opposition's defense. The full-backs provide the necessary width, allowing the attackers to find space and opportunities to score goals in every match. This tactical setup ensures that Glasner's team is always a formidable force on the field.

Ipswich vs Crystal Palace, Tuesday 7.30pm

It's not clicked this season - yet - but the signs in forward areas are encouraging for Palace and I'm taking a positive view on them over this busy period. I think the goals will flow.

In Ismaila Sarr, they have a player who is underrated by the market, especially in a very winnable fixture for Palace. He's looked in confident mood in his last three matches, firing 10 shots, with seven of those hitting the target - including a goal at Aston Villa. The 3/1 anytime goalscorer price should give punters a great run here.

SCORE PREDICTON: 1-2

Leicester vs West Ham, Tuesday 8.15pm

Ruud van Nistelrooy has to be one of the strangest appointments in Premier League history - it may well work but the process to him getting this job is borderline farcical.

Has he been hired purely on his streaky run as Manchester United's caretaker boss? It's all a bit odd as his time at PSV was underwhelming, and I could probably name 20 managers that have earned a crack at a Premier League job like this.

There could be a short-term bounce but Leicester's defence simply isn't up to this standard, and Van Nistelrooy is an attack-minded boss that will struggle to solve the issues. Leicester have shipped 27 goals in 13 games and despite their own issues in defence, West Ham will fancy their chances of scoring multiple times in what could be a goal-fest. The Hammers to score two or more goals at 11/10 with Sky Bet looks the bet.

SCORE PREDICTON: 2-3
